India has risen from the 11th-ranked economy to the 5th-ranked economic power: PM Modi in Arambagh
Has the vote of some people become more important for you than the victims of Sandeshkhali: PM Modi targets TMC

West Bengal encourages corruption, encourages crime and in exchange for protection to criminals: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed an overjoyed crowd in Arambagh, West Bengal. The PM initiated his valuable thoughts by thanking the people of West Bengal for their endless love, affection, respect and loyalty. The PM showered his admiration and also expressed his hope towards transforming West Bengal with highly ambitious development projects.

The PM remarked, “Today when I have come to Bengal, I can say that today's India is fulfilling his dream.” The PM went on to reminisce about the excellent heights achieved by India in the past 10 years and said, “India has risen from the 11th ranked economy to the 5th ranked economic power. We all have seen how India was cheered in the G20. Today India is becoming a leader in the space sector. Our Chandrayaan has done the work which no country in the world could do.”

Praising the rich cultural heritage of the country in its full glory, the PM mentioned that the way West Bengal has welcomed Ramlalla with its arms wide open is extremely special and noted: “The faith that the people of Bengal have towards Shri Ram is visible to the entire country.”

In a sorry state of affairs, the PM expressed that the entire nation is dismayed by the situation in Bengal. “TMC's actions in Sandeshkhali have sparked anger and sadness nationwide. Despite calling itself Maa-Mati-Manush, TMC leaders have shown atrocious audacity towards the women of Sandeshkhali. When these women sought help from Mamata Didi, they were met with indifference as the Bengal government prioritized protecting the TMC leader,” he said.

The PM made the audience aware that “Under pressure from BJP, Bengal Police finally arrested the accused yesterday. This criminal leader of TMC remained absconding for 55 days during TMC rule.” Today the commoners are asking Mamata Didi “Has the vote of some people become more important for you than the victims of Sandeshkhali?” the PM added.

Taking a sharp jibe at the opposition, PM Modi remarked strongly, “Big leaders of the INDI Alliance are sitting with their eyes, ears and mouth closed on Sandeshkhali. They hold meetings together in Patna, Bengaluru, Mumbai, God knows where, but did the Left Congress seek answers from the Chief Minister here? These people did not even spare a glance towards these sisters of Sandeshkhali.”
The PM reiterated that “West Bengal encourages corruption, encourages crime and in exchange for protection to criminals, TMC leaders get huge sums of money.” The PM reminded one of the greatest scams in Bengal including committing scams in the recruitment of primary teachers in exchange for money.

The PM mentioned that the TMC party is embroiled in scams across various sectors - from municipality recruitments to ration distribution. They exploit the poor and middle class by seizing their land. Corruption extends to chit funds, animal smuggling, and more. PM Modi even noted that pieces of evidence of corruption, including stacks of cash in TMC ministers' homes have surfaced and are surfacing multiple numbers of times. The state government with no iota of accountability is even obstructing central investigative agencies.

Taking out pages from the success book of the Modi government, the PM shared that more than 4 crore poor families across the country have got permanent houses. Pointing out the sluggish progress of the Bengal government, the PM pinpointed that the Central government has approved 45 lakh houses and released Rs 42,000 crores for the poor in West Bengal but the state government hasn’t implemented any.

“Within 4 years, 11 crore new families across the country have got tap water facilities. But the West Bengal government is working at a snail's pace to provide water to every house. It is simply not concerned with the problems of mothers, sisters and daughters”, the PM added.

The PM also maintained that “Only when West Bengal develops, India will also develop.”

Showing a way forward towards a brighter future, the PM said good days would only arrive if “in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, Lotus blooms on 40 seats of West Bengal.” TMC’s vote bank politics and pride would be destroyed by the commoners’ voice itself.

In a warm and gratifying conclusion, the PM thanked each and everyone for their presence in large numbers and hoped for the departure of TMC and its unstable, inhuman government. The PM also asked every commoner in the crowd to go back to their respective villages and give their dear ones Modi ji’s greetings.

Prime Minister’s visit to the United Arab Emirates
May 15, 2026

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi paid an official visit to the United Arab Emirates today. He was received at the airport by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE and accorded a ceremonial welcome.

The two Leaders held a series of detailed discussions, during which Prime Minister reaffirmed India’s strong condemnation of the attacks on the UAE, as well as its solidarity with leadership and the people of the UAE. Prime Minister also conveyed India’s clear position in favour of ensuring safe transit passage and unimpeded navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, which is vital for enduring regional peace and stability, as well as energy and food security.

The Leaders also reviewed the entire gamut of bilateral relations and welcomed the deepening of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership across multiple sectors, including energy, trade, investment, defense, security, fintech, infrastructure, education, culture and people to people ties. They acknowledged the success of the India–UAE Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), which has led to bilateral trade scaling new heights.

The two Leaders appreciated the vibrant and growing bilateral energy partnership, with the UAE maintaining its role as an important partner in India’s energy security, including in terms of crude oil, LNG and LPG supplies. The Leaders agreed to promote new initiatives for a comprehensive energy partnership. In this context, they welcomed the conclusion of a Strategic Collaboration Agreement between Indian Strategic Petroleum Reserves Limited and Abu Dhabi National Oil Company to enhance UAE’s participation in India’s Strategic Petroleum Reserves to 30 million barrels, and work together to set up strategic gas reserves in India. They also welcomed the arrangement entered into between Indian Oil Limited (IOCL) Company and Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) on long-term LPG supplies.

The two Leaders welcomed the announcement of USD 5 billion in investment into India by UAE entities. This includes investment of USD 3 billion by the Emirates New Development Bank (ENDB) in the RBL Bank of India, USD 1 billion by the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) with the National Infrastructure & Investment Fund of India (NIIF) in priority infrastructure projects in India, and USD 1 billion by the International Holding Company in Sammaan Capital of India. These investments underscore UAE’s sustained and long-term commitment to India’s growth story, while strengthening the bilateral strategic investment partnership.

The Leaders acknowledged the steady and strong bilateral defence cooperation as an important pillar of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. They welcomed the signing of the Framework for the Strategic Defence Partnership between the two countries during the visit. Under this, the two sides have agreed on deepening defence industrial collaboration and cooperation on innovation and advanced technology, training, exercises, maritime security, cyber defence, secure communications and information exchange.

The two Leaders also witnessed the conclusion of the following additional documents during the visit, which will further strengthen bilateral cooperation:

· MoU between Cochin Shipyard Limited and Drydocks World, Dubai on setting up Ship Repair Cluster at Vadinar, including offshore fabrication, under the Maritime Development Fund Scheme launched by the Government of India.

· Tripartite MoU between Cochin Shipyard Limited, the Drydocks World Dubai and Centre of Excellence in Maritime & Shipbuilding (CEMS) on Skill Development in Ship Repair. This establishes a framework to mobilize, train and employ a skilled maritime workforce, enhances the capabilities of the Indian maritime workforce and position India as a hub for skilled shipbuilding and ship repair professionals.

· Term Sheet for setting up 8 Exaflop Super Compute Cluster in partnership between CDAC, India and G-42, UAE.

The two leaders also welcomed the operationalisation of the Virtual Trade Corridor using MAITRI (Master Application for International Trade and Regulatory Interface interface). This digital framework, connecting customs and port authorities on both sides, will streamline cargo movement and reduce both costs and transit time, thereby enabling more efficient trade flows.

Prime Minister thanked President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan for the warm welcome and gracious hospitality extended to him and invited him to visit India at an early date.
